Mercenary

Want to know why the Olympics is a joke? Read this story about LA Clippers Center, and former CMU player, Chris Kaman. The short version: Kaman is playing basketball in the Olympics... for Germany. Somehow this is legal; the article gives the impression that you could apply for citizenship in Germany and then be allowed to play. I don't care much about Olympic basketball, but as a sports fan and an American, that's pretty disgusting.

"I want to hear you say one word in German, just one." Wow. I'm now a Kobe fan.

I wonder if Kaman responded: "Kobe, tell me how my butt tastes" in German?
